Partial The UI and text cleanup are approachable, but a polished version needs native macOS work for global hotkeys and system-wide paste, plus tuned low-latency on-device speech recognition.
What it would actually take: The stack would be a native Swift/SwiftUI menu-bar app, using global fn-key capture and Accessibility or paste APIs, with an on-device Whisper-class model (for example whisper.cpp or a Core ML build) for streaming transcription. A small local LLM or rules engine would handle corrections like 'no wait'. The hard parts are streaming latency, model size versus accuracy on Apple Silicon, and reliable system-wide text insertion, which need speech and macOS systems expertise.
